Obviously, there are differences in that each stop doubles, or halves, the amount of light but using the fractions approach gets them over the Hump of Confusion of big numbers meaning less light. Exactly how *much* light we're talking is a detail that is subordinate to the greater concept of aperture numbers themselves and can be covered later......</blockquote>
